Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that it was important to pass on Hindu spirituality, concepts and traditions to coming generations amidst so many distractions in the consumerist society and hoped that this new temple complex would focus in this direction. Zed stressed that instead of running after materialism; we should focus on inner search and realization of Self and work towards achieving moksh (liberation), which was the goal of Hinduism.

This new temple on four acres of land has planned 17 major events for 2012 and is holding Hindi and Bharatnatyam classes. Temple Vision includes: “provide an identity for the Hindu community”. Its “Objective” includes providing religious, social, and cultural activities; foster the teachings of Hindu scriptures and the Vedas; conducting yoga and spiritual educational programs; provide location for satsangs, poojas, festivals, and related religious activities; and to provide goodwill and friendship amongst all people. Before this temple, area Hindus reportedly used to travel to Chicago (200 miles) and Pewaukee (100 miles) for worship services or had home shrines. It is said to be the result of about four years of fundraising efforts and now the project leaders reportedly want to build a “real” temple. Ram Turlapati and Rashmi Patel are Chair and Vice-Chair respectively of Temple Board while Rakesh Kaushika and Nila Vaishnav are President and Vice President respectively of Temple Executive Committee.
